He is an exception, yes there are many exceptions.

Those MANY are still a very small percentage.

Jim Fixx was a running guru who wrote a book that started Americans jogging as a form of exercise. He died of a heart attack that was caused by a congenital defect. Genetics.

99% of the time genetics is just an convenient excuse for sickness and an early death.

Jim may have been an exception. I don't know much about his diet.

It is hard to blame your high cholesterol on genetics if you eat the Standard American Diet.

His story sound like the typical story of most Americans.

"I don't eat a lot of fatty foods, in fact I never eat junk food"

Yet his doctor urges him to cut back on the refined carbs, like pasta and bread.

Refined foods are junk food

"I still hate to exercise, and I do eat bread and pasta, but mostly my diet is fine"

I bet his diet falls right in line with most Americans.

41% Meat and Dairy

52% Refined foods

7% Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

I thought this was an outdated and meaninless concept? There is no way to get EAA deficiencies from what I understand.

You are correct Offense

It is all but impossible to be protein deficient if consuming adequate calories.

If someone ate a diet of only a few different plants, then maybe.

Nobody eats such a limited diet that they would ever need to worry about complimenting amino acids.

If somebody thinks it is possible, design a protein deficient diet.

Not a diet of only one food, but a variety of plant foods.

It can't be done.

Safer ways to achieve these goals are to use more traditional calf stretching techniques & to try Goblet squats (Dan John shows some good stuff here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6529481301858251744 )

Pete, thanks for the link to Dan John's video.

After only one night I am doing overhead squats without the bar falling forward.

And is "The Food Revolution" by John Robbins is good too ?

Anything by John Robbins is good.

Someone who eats only bread will eventually die from lack of complete proteins.

 

 

It's not an outdated concept in any way. Protein COMBINING is an outdated concept...

Someone would need to eat only bread for a very long time to develop a protein deficiency.

You would most likely get sick or develop some other deficiency first.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Pharmer's Market

I had to cross my arms, holding my elbows to watch it.

Great interview Mr Lean.

Now I'm downloading Van Orden's interview. I enjoy his youtube vids.

You could set up different log in accounts for you and our sister.

Each of you could set your desktop up they way you like

I keep mine trimmed very short.

It might grow to 1/4 inch on rare occasions.

The China Study is a great book.

I recommend Dr. Fuhrman's books also.

I read his book "Eat to Live"

He has a new book that I haven't read yet "Eat for Health"

Here is an excellent video of him speaking a couple years ago at the Organic Athlete Conference.

Here I am sitting at a coffee shop surfing vegan bodybuilding

I over hear a couple of older women talking about another woman

Not only is that other woman vegan but she is raw.

Then I hear it.

"Where does she get her protein?"

I almost showed them Lean and Green's pictures

They did say how healthy and fit the raw vegan woman looked.

I tried a modified version of his recipe.

Cherries instead of blueberries.

Chocolate vega instead of carob powder

I didn't have any buckwheat so I just added more nuts and seeds

It didn't quite turn out the way I expected it, more like a pie filling consistency

So I made a pie.

Very tasty mistake

I'll take this big tub if it is still available

Lean and Green (navel) and VeganPotter (nose)

You guys said you were going to get matching Alberts

what the hell's a Labret? It better not be what I think it is

Thanks Robert and everybody involved.

Just got home after the long drive back to Montana.

I'll be back in Portland again within a year.

It was nice to meet everybody on Thursday.

It was fun picking berries on the island, eating at the pot luck, and the movie.

I hope that I can make it back to Portland again soon.

Actually I'm across the river in Vancouver at my Brother's house.

My last piece of leather clothing is my old running shoes.

They are about worn out.

I can't find any good shoes in my home town that don't have leather.

Maybe somebody could point me to a good store in Portland for new shoes.

This is funny.

If you are are a computer support person you will really like it.

I live in Billings Montana. All roads in (or out) go past a feedlot.

We have one food co-op. I have nothing to compare it to, but Potter gave it a good rating.

I buy most of my food there.

No resaurants have vegan meals, so you need to veganize them as best you can.

You never know what hidden ingredients may be in the meal.

I'll take the large berry tub

You don't need to ship it if you can hold it for about 10 days.

Then I'll just pick it up
